The Sun on Sunday spoke to an ex-prisoner from Muwaqqar jail where Qatada will be sent, who said he was 'stripped and beaten':

"They threw me in a tiny cell with just a thin mattress on the floor".

Home Secretary Theresa May said:

"I am glad that this government's determination to see him on a plane has been vindicated and that we have at last achieved what previous governments, Parliament and the British public have long called for.

"This dangerous man has now been removed from our shores to face the courts in his own country."
